There are rumors online have appeared on AMD’s Carrizo-apu’s, that the current Kaveri-generation in 2015 have to follow. The chips get not only support for ddr3, but also for ddr4. Apus for the laptop to get ge lwa integrated i/o connectivity.

The claims come from Bright Side of News, which is already an early version of the BIOS & Kernel Developer’s Guide would have understood. At Carrizo will be AMD’s move from Steamroller to Excavator cores, which include support for instruction sets that Intel’s Haswell also contains, such as avx2, bmi2, movbe and rdrand. Carrizo is still on 28nm manufactured and shocking changes at the gpu area would then also not to be expected: just as with Kaveri, the chips on Volcanic Island gpu’s have.

However, there are changes in the memory controller: that would have both ddr3 as ddr4 support. The brazed versions for laptops would be the apus have a integrated fch will go, where the i/o provides two sata 6Gbit/s, four usb 3.0 and eight usb 2.0 ports. For desktops, would Carrizo-chips are compatible with FM2+sockets and the internal FCH would then be switched off. It is unclear how it sits with support for existing motherboards in combination with the ddr4 support. Furthermore, the number of pci-e lanes strikingly reduced from 24 to 16.
